‘It was just about the shot with the rolling ball he got away with,’ said Ashwin. ‘When you talk about gamesmanship, we think you should hold yourself to the standards you expect from the opposition.’

‘I said I could run him out if he could hit that ball,’ said Ashwin, a reference to the Jadeja incident.

‘He said you might as well run me out. But I said I wouldn’t. We’ve got him out enough time to get him out again.’

The **** is a guy with 15 matches' worth of experience doing answering for the team's behaviour? I don't get this new style of sending out different people to face the music after the day's play and it's not just here, it's happening with teams across the world. Piyush Chawla a few days ago? Sending out people who are in all probability semi literate to talk to the world.

Well played England. Thoroughly outplayed India in all departments in this series, including spin bowling and batting spin. Must be a very satisfying series, this. Well deserved result!

Thanks. very gracious of you to say.

It is, something very satisfying about winning this one, better than the ashes in Australia in a way as it is so surprising. Just puts the cherry on the cake of the best sporting year I have ever known in Britain.
